Ankur commented on HADOOP-3246:
-------------------------------

I assume that we would be compiling ftp unit tests with Mina jars and omitting 
them while release bundling. 

In that case  we would have to load the ftpServer classes explicitly ourselves 
in ftp unit test and skip the test if classes are not found. However it is a 
little cumbersome since there are around 7 ftpServer and mina classes 
referenced.

Does this fix sound reasonable ?

> An FTP client that stores content directly into HDFS allows data from FTP 
> serves to be stored directly into HDFS instead of first copying the data 
> locally and then uploading it into HDFS. The benefits are apparent from an 
> administrative perspective as large datasets can be pulled from FTP servers 
> with minimal human intervention.
